I hire and collaborate with many dedicated artists to fulfill productions on my original songs under the alias Red Bird Rising. I'm from Minneapolis and I work remotely in my home studio in Colombia on the Caribbean beside the Sierra Nevadas.
Vibe is definitely an element I'm listening for as I work. Hopefully a sonic narrative emerges and then I'm in a realm that only exists in music.
I deeply enjoy collaborating with instrumentalists. I build my final production inspired by the contributions of these artists. Transitioning from in person collaboration to remote has provided some benefits. Being able to access other artists from around the world without the need to communicate about schedules is a wonderful thing. And each artist recording in their own space they are familiar with has resulted in great performances.
Here is an example of Music and Video collaboration with artists from Ukraine, New York, Buenos Aires, and Colombia.

- A modest amount of tools I've come to know well in an acoustically treated home studio. I have a thing for "lawsuit" Japanese guitars from the 70's alongside my real deal US made instruments. .
